Guest designer for Craft O'Clock - Junk journal with the lovely when you smile collection

 Hi, today I'm sharing my second project made with products from Craft O'Clock.

My first project was a mother's treasure box, back in Februari https://hmier.blogspot.com/2021/02/guest-designer-for-craft-o-clock.html

My second project is a junk journal made with my favorite Craft O'Clock collection:

 "Lovely when you smile".

Here are a lot of pictures of the junk journal but there's also a full flip through video available

 on my YouTube channel. Link below the pictures.

Guest Designer for Craft O' Clock

 Hi and happy Sunday.

I'm very excited to finally reveal that I was selected to be a guest designer for Craft O' Clock.

Craft O' Clock is a Polish brand with the most beautiful collections. 

I could choose 3 collections and had to make 2 projects.

The first one is this baby keepsake box or mother's treasure box.

I made one before, you can find it here.

There's a link to a simple tutorial on how to make this kind of box in that blog post.

For this baby keepsake box I used the Craft O'Clock Sleep & Dream collection.

I also added lace trims, sari silk and a guipure from Allmacraft.

Inside are three little boxes for keeping little treasures or memories.

The Sleep and Dream collection is so adorable and perfect for any baby projects.

You can find Craft O'Clock for instance on FaceBook:

Thanks for visiting.

There will be another project soon using a different Craft O'Clock collection.

Hugs, Henriëtte.

Three cards with one die for Amazing Paper Grace

Hello and welcome to my blog.

I was asked to be November's guest designer for Amazing Paper Grace 

Becca Feeken has sent me beautiful dies to work with and today

 I'm sharing 3 cards created with the fabulous Candlewick pocket die.

This die set has four dies which includes an intricate design pocket and

 3 different sizes of flower dies.

The paper I used for all cards is from Scrapmir called Family Tree.

For my first card I die cut two pieces of the pocket and layered the pieces slightly offset.

I glued the pocket in the left lower corner and place another card panel in the pocket

For my second card I created a white pocket using the die and filled it with 

lots of fussy cut flowers and leaves. 

I also added two butterflies for even more dimension.

On the third card I placed two pockets on each side of the cardbase. In this way it makes a kind of envelope.  It can hold a gift card, a little note or a tag, as I did.

 I embellished the card with flowers made from the blossom dies in the set.

I hope I've shown you the possibilities using  just one die.

More Becca Feeken designed dies can be found in the Spellbinders shop:

Guest designer for Amazing Paper Grace

Hi, a few months ago I was asked to be a guest designer for Amazing Paper Grace  by Becca Feeken, owner of Amazing Paper Crace and designer for Spellbinders.

It was such an honor to be asked that I didn't have to think twice about accepting.

Becca sent me gorgeous dies to work with and during this month, November,

Today, the first post, I'm sharing two cards I've created with the cute shapeabilities die 

"Bundle of Joy".

I made one in blue and one in pink.

The papers are from Prima Marketing, Heaven Sent.

Both cards have multiple layers.

I used white felt to make the flowers and also the bundle the stork has in 

his beak is cut out of felt.

For the flowers I used the blossoms dies from the Candlewick grand pocket die set.

Here you can find all Becca Feeken designed dies.

Guest DT Card for create a smile

I have the pleasure to be this month guest designer at Create a smile challenge.
The challenge theme for the month of February is "Lovely". Just the perfect theme for the upcoming Valentines day.
For this occasion I've made my first clear shaker card.
I've recently purchased a fuse tool and this was my first project.

The cute piggy and sentiment are from a Create a smile stampset called lovely critters.
I did the coloring with spectrum noir markers.
Inside the shaker I placed a piece of patterned paper and heart shaped sequins.

All the info for the challenge is on the Create a smile blog.
Thanks for stopping by! I appreciate all your comments very much.

Hugs, Henriette.

Non Traditional Christmas Cards

For my blog post today I'm referring you to the inspired by stamping blog.
As this months guest designer for inspired by stamping I'm sharing these 3 Chrismas cards.

Guest designer Crafting by designs

I'm very honored to be today's guest designer at crafting by designs.

The theme is: "here come the holidays" and I have made two cards.

This is a one layer clean and simple card. I used digital clip arts from Digimajigs on Etsy and made the sentiment in matching colors using Photoshop.

The other card is completely different. On this card I stamped the mittens and bows using a stamp set from a 

previous Simon says stamp card kit.

The hearts are gold embossed. The sentiment is also from Simon says Stamp.

I added glitter to the bows to give the card a bit more texture.

Thanks for visiting my blog and thanks Crafting by designs for asking me to be a guest designer.

Hugs, Henriette.
